there is no cure for this is there? its not like im allergic to the opposite sex or anything, i have had succesful relationships, just not by meeting girls in bars or clubs or gigs. im crap at approaching strangers, or rather at consciously attempting to pull.

Some people are just shy. No amount of "pick-up tactics" can fix that.

I pulled at a club last night! But it was my friend's little sister who confessed wanting to fuck me for the past 4 years....

I get no love in clubs or bars, so I don't bother trying to pull in them, ever. I think women can read my "consciously attempting to pull" vibes a mile off, so I pull by deliberately shutting off my radar.

baling wire?

actually, i fear this problem of mine will mean i never get to be 'the hunter' and i will never get to go out with girls who 'i saw first' (as it were) or that i find immensely attractive. then again, whos to say even if was good at pulling, i would be able to go out with girls i found attractive?!?!

Well, I am a man who is rubbish at going up to girls and what is more approaching them in clubs and bars.

But also I am rubbish at going up to girls and what is more approaching them ANYWHERE.

The fact is, in clubs and bars, girls go up to me and would you believe it approach me.

They don't do that anywhere else.

So I like clubs and bars.

Reminds me of the best-selling book: Men Who are Dud at Picking Up Girls in Bars, and the Women Who Love Them. Turns out the women are their mothers.

― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 14 May 2005 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

girls used to approach me. they don't anymore. now it's like being a different species, a sad, self-pitying, pessimistic, cynical species

Jesus Fucking Christ, ILx, get one other obsession you lame fuckers.

I mean shit I know Whiny Geeko Twats.com was taken but fuck, change the record already.

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

YOU ARE SHIT AT GETTING LAID ILX, FACE IT OR SHUT THE FUCK UP

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

who are you insulting?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

No-one. You?

why are you insulting me, markelby?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

If this was the first thread about being lame at getting action, I'd agree with you. But it's the 174859694726th.

x-post - I don't think I am, RJG. I was wondering who you were insulting. Why would you think that?

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder if there's a correlation between not using the search function and not being able to approach girls at bars.

― kaleidoscope swamp, Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know, markelby. it seemed like you were insulting someone.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I wasn't. But don't variations on the same question get a bit tedious?

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:39 (twenty-one years ago)

"You waste. You little man."

― Amon (eman), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

so do variations on the same response, I suppose.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

RJG, don't worry. That was just Markelby "being himself."

― Vichitravirya XI, Saturday, 14 May 2005 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

it is getting (gotten) old though. yet i clicked on this thread so there ya go.
i don't know what one expects to come out of starting such a thread, but i'm pretty sure focusing on how crap you are at approaching females isn't going to help any.

― ()ops (()()ps), Sunday, 15 May 2005 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, getting off the internet and, er, actually talking to human beings in person might be step one... it isn't at all surprising though to see ilx devolve into social-help forum come springtime

Hi again,

Sorry everyone :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Sunday, 15 May 2005 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

markelby is right, actually, harsh but correct. no point in sitting behind a PC all day, you have to go out and talk to women/men, even if youre not a 'smooth operator'. doesnt have to be a proper chat up line or anything, talking is talking people!

are you feeling sinister?

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Talking is talking so why should it be, you and I should get along so Awe-Full-Lee?

I blame the parents.

I blame Thatcher

I’m one of these people, I get looks from girls but I never do anything about it. Anyway what’s wrong with girls coming up to lads, we are past the middle ages aren’t we?

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:35 (twenty-one years ago)

If you can't be arsed to do it then why should they be arsed to talk to you?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:36 (twenty-one years ago)

We're kind of going back to the Middle Ages at the moment, in many ways.

-- Dadaismus (dadaismu...), May 17th, 2005 11:36 AM.

I am arsed, but I just think it’s terribly cheesy. Some times they do come over, sometimes they don’t. if a girl likes a guy, why can’t she come over?

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:54 (twenty-one years ago)

omit the word "over"?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

cheeky!
